Wrigley Field is known as one of Americas Greatest ball parks. With a history that goes back to the beginning of the 1900’s and being the second oldest (Fenway in Boston being the oldest in America), Wrigley Field has held a special place in all baseball fan’s hearts. While this field has always bucked the trends (finally installing lighting for night games in 1988), its field has seen years of neglect and heavy use. Fortunately, Wrigley Field is now getting a well deserved restoration and Smithsonian Magazine was there to document this important makeover.
Wrigley Field after years of neglect, games and concerts is finally getting a full restoration by the best in the business- third generation grounds keeper Roger Bossards (AKA the Sodfather). Go inside this incredible restoration process to see exactly how a world class ball park is restored. Besides just the turf being replaced, a new designed drainage system has also been put in place.
